Rap Quiz: Guess the Song & Trivia

A rap quiz rewards the ear that catches the sample and the guest verse before the hook even lands. Name who took the feature, spot the loop under the beat, place the track in its era. The range is huge: 90s boom bap, 2010s trap, drill and French rap all sit in one game, and half the biggest songs are team-ups. Guess the song across US and French scenes alike, tell a feature from the lead, and see whether the deep cuts push your score past the radio hits. Press play and find out how much you can name.

Derrière les refrains les plus évidents se cachent des choix de production, des clips et des habitudes d'écoute qui rendent ces morceaux parfaits pour le quiz.

A sample can give a rap track away before the rapper even arrives. Spotting the loop under the beat is a classic rap-quiz skill.
Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' was the first rap song to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song, in 2003, a favourite rap-quiz trivia question.
Guest verses are the great rap-quiz trap: when several voices arrive fast, naming who took the feature separates casual fans from heads.
French rap builds some of the best lyric quizzes. Its refrains are so heavily memorised that a single line gives the song away.
Trap productions are deliberately similar, so the 2010s trap era is one of the harder ones to place in a blind test.
